Research

Glǎveanu takes a sociocultural approach to creativity. Based on his PhD work, he proposed an alternative to the longstanding "Four Ps" framework first put forward by Mel Rhodes in 1961. Glǎveanu argues that this model is too highly focused on the individual, thus ignores the wider social context in which creativity takes place.

Glaveanu has published over 200 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, and 15 books and edited volumes, on creativity and related topics. Some of his notable publications include:

• Glaveanu, V. P. (2014). Distributed creativity: Thinking outside the box of the creative individual. Springer Cham Switzerland: Springer.
